Residents have also been asked to drive safely by the Ministry of Interior as thunderstorms make their way to the country.
Driving in rainy condition requires extra attention and control. Those using Abu Samara and Um Bab highways are advised to be cautious.

Are you enjoying #DohaRain?
Mohdata: I am now confused. Did you spray wax yourself or the car ?
It looks as if your car was made of chocolate.
I love rain but my car hates it; broke my grille this morning, following the dead horn from last time... On the bright side, the quick spray wax I tried works great...
Apparently, the twitterati were resting
It also rained on the weekend, was everyone sleeping and not making comments then?
